remington model 591

I was at my gunsmith house yesterday and he said i have a gun you need,it was a remington model 591 5mm magnum,the stock needs some work and the sights are gone,but everything else looks good,this is the first one i have seen,what would this gun be worth....the stock can be redone and i can put a scope on it...

I would offer him $250.00 and see where it goes from there. The local gunshop here had one for $195.00, but the stock was severely damaged by someone trying to bed it. I was going to buy it, but could not find a stock at the time, so I passed.

After you test fire a couple of dozen rounds through it at a target, make the offer and see what he says (assuming it functions well and groups decently). There are really nice ones going in the $350.00 to $400.00 range, with some going for even less.

My gunsmith had a cherry 591 for sale in his rack for a few years before the new Aguila ammo was announced. I picked it up for $200 just before the new ammo hit the market. I have seen them go for between $250 and $450 on the Gunbroker auctions I have followed.There does seem to be an increased demand for these rifles now that the Aguila ammo is available at a reasonable price.

For my Model 592 I paid 500.00! included was a the nikon prostaff scope and 500 rounds of ammo.. I couldn't pass up.. these are starting to get harder to find.. and I just snatched up another 5mm in 591 with the complete conversion with the flexibility to change it back to rimfire, dies, brass, bullets, scope, bipod, and and and.. I traded 2 Cz's for this one though.. may not have been the greatest deal but again these are getting harder and harder to find...

Let us know what happens!

Eric,

A Rem 541 stock will fit a 591, and Numrich usually has them in stock.....

Went to my gunsmith house today to bring him a shotgun to work on,he still had the 591 5mm magnum,so i ask him what did he want for it,he told me he would take $100.00 for it,so i brought the 591 home with me.so now i need to get the stock redone,can you get a new red plastic remington 5mm magnum piece that goes on the stock,mine is more of a dull red color.and where can you still get parts if you need some for it.the rear sight is missing,but i am going to put a scope on it.....

You got a great buy. You can shine that grip cap up with so acryllic polish and and a little elbow grease. Numrich Arms has some spare parts. We also make a few parts as they are needed. So if you can't find what you need let us know and we will try to help.

$100.00! WOW you literally stole that one.. That's awesome Congrats on your found treasure, for stocks, I don't know many that offer stocks but I did learn about Joel Russo, he builds stocks to exact specs, it is my understanding that he can build one around your action for a perfect fit. I have sent him an email and he said that he might have it for just about any rifle out there but if not he can custom make one for a low price. As soon as I hear back from him I'll let you know what he said.

Joel Russo, from Russoriflestocks.com said that he can cnc a stock from your action, but that would cost 150 per program and ensures a perfect fit. This + the cost of the wood can give your firearm a unique custom look. I am thinking of doing this for a couple of my rifles.
